Lower Haygrove Farmhouse

Farmhouse. Built in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, with additions likely from the 18th century or later, and few subsequent alterations. It is constructed of painted stone rubble with a scantle slate roof, ridge tiles, and gable ends. The chimney stacks are large, built with rubble and have weathered shapes on top. Originally designed with a two-room plan, a central entrance gave access to a passage, possibly originally a cross passage; each room had a gable end stack for heating with a parlour on the left and a kitchen on the right. A single-storey, unheated outshut is located at the left end. Around the early 19th century, a straight staircase was inserted into the passage, and the rooms were partitioned on the first floor.

The exterior is two storeys and symmetrical, featuring two windows across the front. The first floor has two two-light windows with six panes of glass. The ground floor has a central 20th-century half-glazed door, along with a 19th-century twelve-pane sash window to the right and left. A lean-to on the left has a 20th-century door in a 20th-century porch, a corrugated asbestos roof, and three 20th-century windows on the left side. The right side of the building is blind. The rear of the property has an 18th-century two-light window with six panes of glass on the first floor to the left, a large early 19th-century twelve-pane sash window illuminating the staircase centrally, and a similar two-light casement with L hinges to the right. A single-storey lean-to with a slate roof and a 20th-century French window are also present on the rear. A 20th-century addition extends from the rear of the outshut.

Internally, the room on the left has a fireplace with a granite lintel, and a clay oven was inserted to the rear right. The room on the right also has a fireplace with a granite lintel, with a clay oven to the rear left, featuring a granite cill and lintel. On the first floor, all walls are stud partitions. The room to the left features a 19th-century cast iron dog-gate with pilasters.
